lyrics

Tell me what you want, tell me what you need,
I'll give you what I got, even if I bleed.
I had my fortune read, oh this is what it said,
dead men they keep talking even if they're dead.
You don't see many stars at night around here,
but if you live here long enough you forget to care.

Oh, oh, another night in Van City.
Oh, oh, but the women are so pretty.

Here's comes little Frankie, he wants to be a shark,
but poor little Frankie boys, he don't got the heart.
I found my girl, she'd been crying all night,
she said they'll take your dignity no matter the price.
Oh underneath the viaduct, in the empty air,
I heard somebody screaming, but nobody was there

Oh, oh, another night in Van City.
Oh, oh, but the women are so pretty.

There's so many wounded it's hard to believe,
sometimes late at night I can barely breathe,
I wish that you were here with me,
but the distance it gets so great, and we can't see.

Mary is a miner, but it's not a heart of gold.
She doesn't give a shit how many cds you have sold,
she's working underground beneath the city walls,
she's going to bring it down, she's going to make it fall.

Oh, oh, another night in Van City.
Oh, oh, but the women look so pretty.
Oh, oh, another night in Van City.
Oh, oh, but the women are so pretty.
